Waiting 'Round To Die (Townes Van Zandt)
guitar chords lyrics
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I don't even know the reason why
I guess I keep on gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
One-time friends, I had a ma, I even had a pa
He beat her with a belt once cause she cried
She told him to take care of me, headed down to Tennessee
It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
I came of age and found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
Oh, she cleaned me out and hit it on the sly
I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train
Seemed easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
A friend said he knew where some easy money was
We robbed a man and, brother, did we fly...
The posse caught up with me, drug me back to Muskogee
A friend said he knew where some easy money was
We robbed a man and, brother, did we fly...
The posse caught up with me, drug me back to Muskogee
It's two long years, just a-waitin' 'round to die
Now I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
His name's Codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die
Yeah, together we're gonna wait around and die.
